I didn’t realize it, but this recipe is also from Genesis of a Cook! I had an entire bunch of very ripe bananas and still had some left over after I made those banana cookie bars, so I decided I needed to make some muffins! And what better than giant banana muffins with pineapple, raisins, and coconut? Recipe after the jump!

We’ve got our ingredients together, so let’s get started!

Line and grease your muffin tin, and set aside.

Beat together the sugars and butter.

In a separate bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients.

In yet another bowl, mash up the bananas and add the honey, vanilla, and eggs.

Chop up your dried pineapple.

Combine the banana mixture with the sugar and beat well. After that, add the dry ingredients, the raisins, and the pineapple.

Fill your muffin cups 2/3 full with batter and sprinkle coconut on top. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes (I used a jumbo muffin tin, so I baked them for 35-40 minutes).

Allow them to cool in the muffin tin a bit before removing to cool completely.

These were a hit with Kramer! He even said, “That’s a solid muffin.” What else do I need to say? Try this recipe!

In a large bowl, beat together the butter, sugar, vanilla, and coconut or rum flavor. Combine the mashed bananas, eggs and honey in a separate bowl and add to the sugar mixture. Beat until thoroughly combined.

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt. Stir it into the banana mixture, then add the pineapple and raisins. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups and sprinkle each muffin with coconut.

Bake the muffins for 25 to 28 minutes (35-40 minutes if you're using a jumbo muffin tin like I did) or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven, and let cool in the tins before removing to cool completely.

I just found your food blog through LiveJournal and I have to say, its one of the best I have ever read! I think that is mostly because we have similar cooking styles – I’ve been reading back through entries and every single thing looks amazing! I will have so much fun reading & cooking recipes from here. I’m also trying to start up my own blog, so thanks for the inspiration!
